The laid back voice of "Mr C" will be fading away as I get on that rowing boat and start rowing back over the channel to "Blighty "...thanks "Bob" for the L/P's back soon !!! think I'll catch that "Carpet" next time!!! my arms are begining to ache with all this exercise !!!

Re-Posts will be continued later...we now have some delights from the USA via "John" and "Bob" who is in "Belgium" as everybody must now know !!!And I have managed to get some L/P's to post from friends at the "Gym"so expect something different later on !!....I have now exhausted all my L/P collection so if anybody wants any Re-Posted let me know.....At the moment I am finding it difficult to borrow any L/P's to post on here...I would have thought that there must be loads of people who have boxes of L/P's in their loft or garage that hav'nt been played for years gathering dust !!....so if anybody from "Leicester" is looking in get in touch via "Comments" or "Comment Box" on your Right !!!Ok now back to the music "Diana" has a good singing voice and its a pity that she did not do more than this L/P which I believe is the only on she did !...or am I wrong !!Dig that "Roller Coaster Blues" !!!!

Seems I've taken root in the RS !!!.. How's about a cuppa tea John !!....Oooop's USA time cuppa Coffee I mean !!!.....and what do I spy an "English" singer from the 50's / 60's and the husband of "Millicent Martin from 1958 to 1960 that was a short one !!Here he is singing standards and he does a good job with all of them !!....shades of "Nat King Cole" on "Baby Won't You Say You Love Me " !!!

Another one from "The Record Shop" across the Pond...no explanation is necessary "Eartha " is like "Marmite" you either like her or not !!!...this L/P has most of her early hits... I first got acquainted with Eartha when i heard "Uska Dara" and it took me ages to get the record 78 rpm at that time 45's were in their infancy !!!

This is a nice selection of tunes in waltz time from
films....recorded in "Panoramic Stereo" which I suppose is "Pye's"
version of Upgrade Stereo...I suppose if you have Hi-Fi equipment that
costs the earth !! ( A Couple Thousand pounds would do it) you would
perhaps hear a difference but to my gentle ears and my modest equipment
its sounds the same as normal Stereo!!....A good treat for all easy
listeners !!

This is one of Carly's early recordings in fact I think it might be
her first L/P...I like Carly's voice and the tracks are all original
songs presumably written by her....Unfortunately this came to me with no
sleeve so there is no information and it is a Japanese release and on
the Label there is no reference who has written the songs....Maybe
someone out there can fill in the gaps!!!....best song to me is "The
Girl That You Think You Are"

Brilliant
concept and the first of the "Hooked" Series....Maybe the constant beat
does wear a bit thin after a while...Could have done without it on the
"Mendelssohn" Violin track apart from that a cool L/P...I wonder if it
made anyone have a listen to the originals !!

This is Johnny Mathis in his early days....I think it was about his
third L/P....A good set of songs that certainly put him on the road to
success...

About Me

Retired from the "Rat Race" called work and am taking it easy holidaying and just chillin" out.. hence this blog but cant for the life of me think of much else to say except love music the older the better 20's to 80's where great.
This blog is to share some of my favourite L/P,s and will be highlighting the very special tracks of well known song's that are very different from the originals.. we all know that in about 99% the originals are still the best but now and then they can be as good and maybe better !!....My opinion of course..BUT have a listen and make your own mind up!!!
I am focused on vinyl rips so as to preserve from oblivion these wonderful objects of the past.If you are the owner of some rights, tell us and we will delete the post immediately.
